Obama: I don't think it does anybody any good when public employees are denigrated . . .

Obama said during nation's governors gathered in Washington:

I don't think it does anybody any good when public employees are denigrated or vilified or their rights are infringed.

We need to attract the best and the brightest to public service. These times demand it. We're not going to attract the best teachers for our kids, for example, if they only make a fraction of what other professionals make.

Gov. Scott Walker issued a a statement suggesting Obama doesn't really understand the situation in Wisconsin. Apparently his state senators don't either. They are starting to waiver and suggest the governor is using the wrong approach.
